Meijer’s fight against cancer

On 3 and 4 September 2020, the Meijer Group will participate in the Groot Verzet tegen Kanker (Ventoux against Cancer) event as its main sponsor. We will hike, cycle and climb Mont Ventoux for the Mont Ventoux foundation. We see the ascent of this French mountain in Provence as a sporting battle that symbolises the fight against cancer. Together with colleagues, friends and/or family, we will collect money for two projects that the foundation will select from within the Dutch Cancer Society and local charities.

Mont Ventoux foundation
Ever since 2007, we have been annually organising the Groot Verzet tegen Kanker event – the ascent of Mont Ventoux as a sporting battle that symbolically reflects the fight against cancer.
Our key words – feeling, energy and ambition – symbolise what we as a foundation want to stand for: the feeling and involvement of volunteers and participants in the event, the energy and personal motivation of participants to take part in the event, and the ambition to support research goals of the Dutch Cancer Society as well as local charities in the fight against cancer with the sponsorship money raised by the participants, teams and volunteers.

The COVID-19 has now spread to most parts of the world. Local authorities increasingly apply restrictions to prevent the spread of the virus, potentially impacting production and supply chains.

At Meijer Handling Solutions in the Netherlands we are following our standard risk protocol and doing our utmost to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on our business. Some of our office employees will work remotely to secure business. Untill now we will remain fully operational.

This being said, we cannot ensure production and delivery in case the Local Authorities would announce nationwide quarantine, or the freight companies and carriers would be restricted.
